This supportive seniors project, occupied in July 2005, houses seniors living with mental illness, in 52 one-bedroom units. Tenants are drawn from the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority’s waiting list, with emphasis on current Downtown Eastside and Downtown South residents, allowing them to age-in-place in a familiar neighbourhood. The project is named in honour of the co-chairs of the Katherine Sanford Housing Society at its inception: Nobel laureate Michael Smith and architect Ronald Yuen.
